“…There are only minor quantitative differences in the chemical compositions of the leaf oils of the two trees in this study. The essential oil composition of L. tulipifera previously reported [2], which was obtained from branches collected in the winter, is notably different from the leaf oils in this study. The branch oils were dominated by (Z)-β-ocimene, but (E)-β-ocimene was not reported.…”

“…In this report, we present the variation in the leaf essential oil composition of L. tulipifera growing in Huntsville, Alabama, during the 2008 growing season. The essential oil from branches of L. tulipifera collected in the winter has been reported [2], but to our knowledge, this is the first report of the seasonality of L. tulipifera leaf oil. Leaf essential oils were obtained from two different trees collected on five different dates ( Table 1).…”

“…Liriodendron tulipifera L., "tuliptree", "tulip poplar", or "yellow poplar" (Magnoliaceae) is a large tree (up to 30 m in height and 1 m diameter at breast height), distributed throughout the eastern United States [1], and one of the few temperate North American hardwood trees known to produce an essential oil [2]. This tree is one of the preferred host plants of the eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucus)…”

The seasonal variation in the chemical composition of the leaf essential oil of Liriodendron tulipifera has been analyzed by GC-MS. Two individual trees were sampled five times during the course of the growing season. Twenty components were identified in the leaf oils, which were dominated by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, principally germacrene D and β-elemene, in the early part of the season (42-44% and 18-23%, respectively,) but monoterpene hydrocarbons, largely (Z)-β-ocimene, dominated the later season leaf oils (40-60%). The leaf oils exhibited in-vitro antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus as well as cytotoxic activity on MDA-MB-231 and Hs 578T human breast tumor cells.

“…Although tulip tree (Smith et al 1988) and possibly black cherry leaves manufacture terpenes, it does not appear that the caterpillars selectively sequester these compounds from the diet. If this were the case, the profile of terpenes would show greater variability between caterpillars reared on the different host plants.…”

The scent of alarm: ontogenetic and genetic variation in the osmeterial gland chemistry of Papilio glaucus (Papilionidae) caterpillars

Within a species, ontogenetic and genetic variation in defensive chemistry can provide the basis for natural selection from different predator types. The osmeterial chemistry of fifth (last) instar Papilio glaucus caterpillars is known to differ qualitatively from the composition of early instar caterpillars. However, the osmeterial chemistry of early instar caterpillars has not been thoroughly characterized and may change as the caterpillars undergo their first three molts. We have used GC/MS to identify a suite of about 50 different terpene compounds in the osmeterial secretions of P. glaucus caterpillars, and found the relative amounts of these compounds changed significantly with each molt. These quantitative changes preceded the more dramatic qualitative switch to the production of 2-methylbutyric and isobutyric acids after the molt to the fifth instar. We also examined the effects of diet and genetic background on the relative quantities of 15 terpenes present in the secretions of third instar caterpillars. Parentage was found to affect the percentages of many more of the individual components than did diet, although both exerted an effect. The ontogenetic and genetic variations in the composition of the osmeterial secretions appear to have an effect on would-be predators. In the laboratory, terpene secretion was found to discourage attack by ants, whereas the switch from terpene to acid production rendered the caterpillars less palatable to a larger predator, the green anole. In the field, the presence of functional osmeteria did not seem to dramatically increase survival in a field study, and only a small, non-significant advantage was seen. Similarly, field data was suggestive that parentage might affect the likelihood of survival in a natural setting, but the stage of the caterpillar and the field site significantly affected survivorship. Further studies with greater replicates will be needed to determine whether and to what extent chemical differences in osmeterial components as well as behavior contribute to differences in outcomes in the field.
